Description from the seller
Silea Duck Decanter – Italian Bargerei Glass – Silver Plated Mounts – 26 cm
Elegant and decorative duck-shaped decanter produced by Silea, Italy. This charming table piece combines hand-blown Bargerei glass with silver-plated metal mounts, forming a stylised waterfowl with refined detailing.
The sculptural head functions as a hinged pouring spout, while the gracefully curved handle and feather-decorated tail enhance its decorative appeal. The body is executed in clear blown glass with internal shaping, resting on a silver-plated base.
A beautiful mid-20th century Italian barware object, both functional and decorative.

Silea was an Italian manufacturer active mainly in the mid-20th century, known for decorative glass and barware pieces combining blown glass with silver-plated metal elements. These animal-form decanters were popular between the 1950s and 1970s and were often exported.
